Today i decided to completely reinstall windows on my laptop. It was running windows 11, but on my usb drive i had the installation files for windows 10. Installing it was not a problem. But then i decided to check for the upgrade to windows 11. Now comes the funny part. Before i did reinstall windows the laptop was running windows 11 just fine. Now it says it can not run windows 11 because the processor (intel i3) is not supported.

I think your i3 cpu should be minimum 8th generation

Windows processor requirements Windows 11 supported Intel processors

This specification details the Intel processors that can be used with Windows 11 customer systems that include Windows products, including custom images.

My notebook has a 3rd gen i7 and works perfectly, so continue with win10. Shame on MS.
